A heavy, forward-slanted sans with large, rounded counters and smooth, geometric curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with softened corners and a slightly condensed feel inside the letterforms, producing compact internal space even in open shapes like C and S. The italic construction reads more like a strong oblique: straight stems and diagonals lean consistently, while bowls (B, P, R) stay broad and stable. Numerals match the same robust, rounded construction and maintain a cohesive, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where bold, energetic emphasis is needed: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and punchy packaging or label work. It can also function in short UI or editorial callouts when large enough to preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone is confident and kinetic, with a sporty, headline-forward presence. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than harsh, while the strong slant adds urgency and motion. The result feels contemporary with a hint of classic athletic branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed and forward momentum, while preserving approachable, rounded geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and quick recognition for branding and display typography.
Uppercase forms are particularly bold and steady, while lowercase remains highly legible with simple, single-storey constructions where applicable. Terminals tend to end in clean, slightly angled cuts that reinforce the forward movement. Spacing looks tuned for impact in larger sizes, giving words a solid, block-like silhouette.
